This allowed students to not only manage their time but also have anopportunity to contemplate their experiences. Students also provided qualitative feedback afterevery session which the program used to make adjustments and shape the program to be morestudent centered. Faculty mentors provided introductory information to acclimate students to thevirtual lab environment and research team which helped to foster a sense of community amongall research scholars.

There are certainly overlaps during these engagements, but ingeneral, an advisor is someone who gives someone a recommendation aboutwhat should be done.

. Introduction The vast majority of STEM education research, until very recently, has been framedwithin the norms of a culture developed by and for cisgender, able-bodied, heterosexual, upper-middle-class white men. The authentic experiences of individuals of color; members of theLGBTQIA+ community; people with mobility, visual, auditory, or neurological diversity; fromlower socioeconomic backgrounds; or combinations of these are not reflected in the vastmajority of research. When such studies do exist, many primarily focus on performanceoutcomes, often with deficit framing, and with little or no attention to issues of intersectionality. So what happens when your lived experience or research area is one that has not beenstudied or is only

ResearchAs we reflect on the novel methodology incorporated in this study, we suggest the following implicationsfor broadening participation research.First, we offer our specific contribution as a possible augmentation to any qualitative broadeningparticipation research out there. We think this paper has demonstrated the wealth of insights available inlistening to a single participant, even just for a one-hour interview. Qualitative researchers could considerinvesting in simple audio equipment and learning techniques for re-recording interview content to helpdisseminate in podcast, YouTube, website, and faculty development sessions. We note that this could be arelatively simple and fruitful form of secondary data analysis for the many Broadening

While we focus and separate our four themes as to why our participants didnot persist, it is important to note that multiple variables were also involved and intertwined inthe decisions that each of the participants made. For many, finances and COVID-19 influencedtheir life events, some pointed to a comparable pre-transfer program was more appealing, andGPA requirements pushed decisions and actions that provided time away to reflect and make thechoice to change careers.Life EventsFor students in the program, life events took varying forms.

Their statements did not extendbeyond gender to consider other underrepresented groups in STEM, but did indicate thatcounselors are aware that there is a need to support broader participation in this particularcourse on their campus. The counselors made comparisons to other programs on campus,which suggests that these counselors are reflecting on how the system could be changed tosupport broader participation and might indicate that the counselors recognize a need todevelop their skills or practices as counselors.

Minoritized students enter PWIs with the goal ofarriving at success. As noted in this study, the way that minoritized students arrive at success isnot one-size-fits-all.

, the early developmentof an identity as an engineer is likely to support the long-term choice of engineering as a career[25]. Part of a student’s professional identity stems from their sense of belonging. This sense ofbelonging can be related to how included they feel, which encompasses their views onrepresentation within the field or the social pressures they feel from both peers and mentors. Thisgoes beyond a student’s abilities or external sources of motivation and is a reflection of theirinternalized conception of self. If a student does not feel that they belong on a learning track,degree path or ultimately in the profession (i.e., professional identity), it does not matter howconfident they are in their knowledge and skills (i.e., self

Sweet [11] found that toy marketing has fluctuated throughout the20th century in terms of using gender stereotypes to sell products to children. At certain points,stereotypes were prominently used in advertisements and marketing materials to drive sales andinfluence consumer behavior. Sweet notes that these actions "added to -- and helped toperpetuate -- evolving cultural narratives about gender" (p. 221). Feminine toys highlighteddomesticity, the adoption of nurturing qualities, and emphasis on attractiveness, while masculinetoys encouraged building, aggression, and action.
